There are some things I never thought would change. And some things I thought that would. But the point here is not to dwell on what has been--as wonderful as it was; or what could be--as grand as once was imagined. The point here is to look at what is. To treat each day like a special gift. To love deeply. Loyally. Honestly. To lead with weakness, as someone put it recently. It's time to put away what once was, and open the book to what is.
At this point in my life, integrity is everything. It becomes more precious to me every day. This has to do with doing, not merely saying. Let us not stop at words when we are needed most. Let friendship be genuine and last a lifetime. Let none of us look down upon one another. Let repentence ring true. Let us be real. If I love, may it be too much rather than too little. If I live, may it not be a wasted life. If I die, may people say "here lies one loyal of heart." Let my life be one that rings true in and out, in word and in deed.
I'm in uncharted territory now. All I've ever known is gone along with most of the people as well. And that's ok. Because I have my Lord here at my side, and I love him more wholly with each passing moment. And new people are beginning to occupy places only recently vacated. Who would've thought? I have a very distinct feeling in my heart that I will end my days in a way I never imagined. It's kinda sad. But, I'm also rather looking forward to it.
